The quality of mercy is not strained...

.....it falleth as the gentle rain..
This Shakespeare offering in Cedar City this 2010 season was most delightful.  Besides watching the characters who were speaking, you had to keep a watchful eye in your periphery to catch other things taking place on stage.  It was such a fabulous evening spent with  this, my most favorite of
Shakespeare's comedys.  Shylock was played by a most convincing actor,
Tony Amendola I believe.  He made me like the character, although I have always disliked him for his, "pound of flesh" and "bond"  and "revenge"....  The princes who arrive to select a casket for Portia's hand, are ever so delightful. 

The BnB we stayed at, the Garden Cottage, was perfect.  It was romantic and the host and hostess, Diana and Gary were so warm and inviting.  The breakfast was most delectable.
